Anyone worked abroad for the summer?

Question

Has anyone got any personal experience of working abroad, I'm interested in working in any industry in any country for up to a year. I've had a look on loads of site but they never give any proper information, or want to charge you a grand for the work! I realise I'll probably have to pay flights but just wanted to get some opinions!

Answer 1

I worked a summer abroad, but this was season work.  Basically, an English company who send staff out to cater for English holidays in hotels and such.  You don't get paid a lot, but generally, they include your food and board.  And it's a great experience!  Look on holiday websites for staff.  Thomas Cook, Esprit, I think Thompson do.  Mark Warner.  They all take on summer + often, winter staff (for ski seasons).

I hope this is helpfull - go for it! it's great fun!!!
